RedHat Regarding rsync issue.

Hello All,

I was performing a data copy by using rsync command as follows.
Code:
rsync -avz -r -e 'ssh' --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync /test/singh_directory/dir /test/singh_directory  >> /test/singh_directory/rsync_logs.log 2>&1

Command's logs are getting hung to following:
Code:
sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/test/singh_directory/ssh" failed: No such file or directory (2)

I have tried to search it in google but nothing much information on same, I had tried --progress --stats in command too but same information only.
Could anyone please help on same, will be grateful to you.

NOTE: I am on LINUX O.S. And this is on the same server but different paths, so that only user name and server name not mentioned in command above.


Thanks,
R. Singh

Just a guess

Hi.

Once I get an rsync command to run, I tend to forget about the complex set of options.

However, my recollection is that a trailing "/" is best to specify on source and destination directories.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

You said you want to copy data using rsync but the command introduces much ambiguity. Where are you trying to copy to?

The -e 'ssh' indicates that you are trying to initiate a remote connection using the ssh protocol but no host name is given, nor the arrangement of source and destination is like given.
The -a (archive) flag is a combination of many others, including -r (recursive), therefore is not necessary to have by itself.

The -z is for compression on the transmission, arguably not necessary when doing a local copy.

If we remove the -e 'ssh' we end up with a copy of a whole directory (dir) from local source to local directory (singh_directory) destination, which it has its own problems as stand. dir lives already in singh_directory.


When using / at the end of source, rsync will copy the content of the last directory.
Not using / at the end of source, rsync will copy the last directory and the content of it.

When using / at the end of destination, rsync will transfer the data inside the last directory.
Not using / at the end of destination, rsync will create a directory with the last destination name and will transfer the data inside that directory.
